Cisco SPA Shared Port Adapters and SIPs - Refurbished, Used, New
Cisco Shared Port Adapters (SPAs) are modular interface cards for Cisco service provider and edge routers, and SPA Interface Processors (SIPs) are the carrier cards that hold them. This page carries Ethernet, T1/E1 and OC-12 SPAs, plus SIPs for the ASR 9000, CRS and Cisco 10000, new, refurbished and used. Refurbished and used units are tested before they ship.
SPA or SIP: what do I need?
A SIP installs in a router slot and provides the bays; SPAs install in the SIP and provide the ports. SIPs are built for one router family, so pick the SIP that matches your chassis, then pick SPAs that Cisco lists for that platform. On some platforms a SPA is supported in one port count but not another, so check the exact SPA part number rather than the interface type.

Do the Ethernet and OC-12 SPAs need separate optics?
Yes, they take pluggable optics. The SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 uses a 10 Gigabit XFP module, and Cisco lists LR (10 km), ER (40 km) and ZR (80 km) single-mode options for it. The SPA-2XOC12-POS and SPA-2XCHOC12/DS0 use OC-12/STM-4 SFP modules. Whether optics come with a SPA is shown on each listing; if it is not stated, check the listing.
Which SPA fits a T1/E1 circuit?
The SPA-8XCHT1/E1 has eight RJ45 ports that run as T1 or E1. Cisco documents up to 256 usable n x 64K channels per SPA, where n is 1 to 24 for T1 and 1 to 32 for E1, and an optional RJ45 to BNC adapter cable.
Does a double-height SPA take two bays?
Yes. A double-height SPA such as the SPA-2XCHOC12/DS0 uses the space of two single-height bays, which is why Cisco gives SIP capacity as a count of each size.
